The + * root cause of that problem is the need for SMTPUTF8 autodetection. + * + * What is SMTPUTF8 autodetection? Postfix cannot rely solely on the sender's + * declaration that a message requires SMTPUTF8 support, because UTF8 may be + * introduced during local processing (for example, the client hostname in + * Postfix's Received: header, adding @$myorigin or .$mydomain to an + * incomplete address, address rewriting, alias expansion, automatic BCC + * recipients, local forwarding, and changes made by header checks or Milter + * applications). + * + * In summary, after local processing has happened, Postfix may decide that a + * message requires SMTPUTF8 support, even when that message initially did + * not require SMTPUTF8 support. This could make the message undeliverable + * to destinations that do not support SMTPUTF8. In an environment with + * pre-existing mail flows that contain UTF8, we want to avoid disrupting + * those mail flows when rolling out SMTPUTF8 support. + * + * For the vast majority of sites, the simplest solution is to autodetect + * SMTPUTF8 support only for Postfix sendmail command-line submissions, at + * least as long as SMTPUTF8 support has not yet achieved wold domination. + * + * However, sites that add UTF8 content via local processing (see above) should + * autodetect SMTPUTF8 support for all email. + * + * smtputf8_autodetect() uses the setting of the smtputf8_autodetect_classes + * parameter, and the mail source classes defined in mail_params.h. + */ +extern int smtputf8_autodetect(int); + + /* + * The flag SMTPUTF8_FLAG_REQUESTED is raised on request by the sender, or + * when a queue file contains at least one UTF8 envelope recipient.
